Just across the river from Buenos Aires is an old fortress town called Colonia. It's a popular day trip from Buenos Aires and also a short, easy bus ride (unless your bus gets a flat of course) from Montevideo. The historic district of Colonia del Sacramento is a UNESCO site and real quaint. What I loved most is that it was still open and functioning as a little town so you could walk into a shop and admire the Portuguese colonial architecture and sit in the square while cars drove past on the cobblestone roads. We spent the day wandering aimlessly. It was lovely. The pictures meander as well- Enjoy!
On to Buenos Aires and Argentina!
Love the cobblestone streets and the colorful buildings
